Equine dentistry is a hands-on discipline that demands confidence, precision, and familiarity with complex oral anatomy. Until now, many students and new practitioners have struggled to gain consistent, safe, and cost-effective practice opportunities. To bridge this gap, we are proud to introduce the Equine Dental Float Training Simulator – a comprehensive, lifelike model designed to transform the way veterinary and equine dental professionals learn essential skills.
With unmatched anatomical detail, interchangeable components, and compatibility with real dental tools, this simulator creates a realistic learning environment where trainees can practice repeatedly without risk to a live horse.

A Realistic, Life-Sized Approach to Equine Dental Education

At the heart of the Equine Dental Float Training Simulator is a life-sized silicone head molded over a fully detailed internal skull. This meticulous structure helps learners understand spatial anatomy, improve confidence during oral navigation, and rehearse procedures with tactile authenticity. The soft silicone exterior mimics the feel of working with an actual equine patient, from restraint techniques to speculum placement.

Built for True Procedural Training

Unlike the equine skull model, the Equine Dental Float simulator supports a full range of real-world equine dentistry skills:

Compatible with Standard Equine Speculums

Trainees can practice safe and controlled mouth access, proper positioning, and instrument handling using the same tools they will use in practice.

Realistic Dental Abnormalities

To prepare learners for complex cases, the jaw modules also include simulated malocclusions such as:

• Hooks
• Ramps
• Waves
• Steps
• Shear mouth

These abnormalities make it possible to practice diagnostic assessment and floating techniques on a controlled, repeatable platform.

Compatible with Manual and Motorized Floats

The model is engineered to withstand repeated use with both manual and motorized dental floats. This durability makes it ideal for:

• Veterinary schools
• Equine dental training programs
• Teaching hospitals
• Field workshops
• Continuing education laboratories

Trainees can practice full procedures from start to finish without the pressure of working on a live animal, ensuring greater skill development and procedural readiness.

Key Skills That Learners Can Develop

With this simulator, students and instructors can work through a complete equine dentistry workflow, including:

• Oral examination techniques
• Safe horse approach and restraint
• Dental speculum placement
• Manual and motorized dental floating
• Identifying and correcting malocclusions
• Incisor alignment and extraction training
• Understanding jaw anatomy and terminology
• Instrument handling and intraoral navigation

This broad scope makes it one of the most comprehensive training tools available in equine dentistry today.
